Correct me if I’m wrong. 
 

I have a 2016 Silverado 1500

 

they can fit 33x11.5 factory.

 

Negative Offset in a wheel pulls the wheel out from the inside of the wheel well.

so if I have say a -24 mm offset wheel I can accommodate a wider tire. 
I have mixed reviews on largest tire size. I only have the front leveled 2 in. 
I just ordered a set of 5 pro comp wheels with -38 mm offset. Could pull the wheel out 1.5 inches.

im looking for tires. I wanna run a 305 70 r17

34x12

this should fit with no rubbing?

I forgot to mention I have a barricade pre runner front bumper with skids.

just looking for some reassurance on that tire size before I order. Looking to order on Thursday.

If it doesn't fit add a wheel spacer, may as well push those tires right out of the fender!

I’ve come to the conclusion from research 33x12.5 will fit.

-38 mm offset wheels

17x9 wheel

pre runner front bumper

found a set of kendras at a local shop for 925$ going to pick them up at 9. My rims still haven’t processed yet but I’ll still need tpms. Never have done it but the Chevy is worth it.

don’t want spacers they’re trash. Buy the negative offset wheel. I use to sell stuff for Extremeterrain so I’ve learned a little about wheels and also jeeps are trash. Lol

My reply on your other thread:
"With -38 wheels and 33.8x12 tires on a 2" level, you'll have some rubbing issues.
I had 33" BFG all terrains, which run a tad small, and I barely cleared on the stock +24 wheels on mine.
If one pushes them out to -38, it will cause some issues without some trimming.
Heck, you might be looking at a NorCal mod (I hate cutting into my truck). "

If you push the wheels out, you'll get more rubbing on the fender without a higher lift.
Quite frankly, I'm not a fan of tires outside the fenders - it just gets your truck dirty and sprays dirt, rocks and water (if it's wet) on those behind you.

    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.    
    • I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
